Salem County Chapter of the American Red Cross ready to kick off HEROES Campaign

Salem County American Red Cross prepares to kick off its HEROES Campaign.

CARNEYS POINT TWP. — March marks the kickoff of the Salem County Chapter of the American Red Cross HEROES Campaign.

Throughout the month of March, local businesses, schools, church groups, civic clubs and individuals pledge to raise $1,000 for the Salem County Chapter American Red Cross to help raise money to continue the vital disaster and community services offered by the Red Cross.

The Red Cross will hold its kickoff campaign breakfast on Wednesday.

The HEROES campaign is simple, quick and inexpensive to implement.

All funds raised will directly benefit the community our local chapter serves.

If you or your business or civic group would like to hold a collection or be a HERO, please contact Stephanie at (856) 299-1027 or smcgarvey@arc-salem.org

If you would like to contribute to the Salem County Chapter American Red Cross Heroes Campaign, donations can be sent to the Salem County Chapter American Red Cross at 258 Johnson St., Carneys Point, NJ 08069 with Heroes noted in the memo.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and counsels victims of disasters; provides nearly half of the nation’s blood supply; teaches lifesaving skills; and supports military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its humanitarian mission.
